£140,000-per-week duo to be bench by Howe”- Newcastle Predicted Starting Lineup Vs Nottingham Forest for Premier League Match
Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United will face off in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, both aiming to head into the international break with back-to-back victories.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are currently in third place following a dominant 3-0 win over West Ham last weekend, with Chris Wood in excellent form. Meanwhile, Newcastle earned a crucial 1-0 victory over Arsenal at St James’ Park, snapping a three-match winless streak in the league. Both teams are in high spirits and looking to extend their positive momentum, and here’s how GIVEMESPORT predicts they will line up.
Nottingham Forest Team News
No New Injury Concerns for Nuno
After winning the Manager of the Month award, Nuno Espirito Santo has received the good news that his squad has no fresh injury issues ahead of this weekend’s match. Elliot Anderson is managing a foot problem but was fit enough to come off the bench last week, so he should be available. James Ward-Prowse also returns to the squad after being ineligible to face his parent club last time out.
Nuno’s Update
In his pre-match press conference, Espirito Santo provided an update on the squad:
“We still have some players to assess. Some are improving but are not yet at their best. Hopefully, the international break will help.”
Nottingham Forest Predicted XI
Ward-Prowse returns to the team
With Ward-Prowse back and available, it’s unlikely that Nuno will make changes to a winning side. Anthony Elanga, who has been linked with a move to St James’ Park, will look to make an impact on the wing, alongside the in-form Callum Hudson-Odoi and Chris Wood in attack.
Newcastle United Team News
Kieran Trippier Still Out
Eddie Howe, who recently marked three years in charge of Newcastle, will still be without one of his key players, as Kieran Trippier remains sidelined with a hamstring injury. Callum Wilson will also miss the match and is expected to return after the international break, while Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman are long-term absentees following ACL injuries last season.
Howe’s Update
In his pre-match presser, Howe provided the following update:
“I don’t think we’re missing anyone new. Jacob Murphy should be okay for Sunday. We’re still working on getting the injured players back, and they’re all making progress. The reduced schedule has helped, but we’re also working smarter. James Bunce’s arrival has had a positive impact, so we’re doing everything to keep players fit.”
Newcastle United Predicted XI
Joelinton to Start on the Left
After a big win over Arsenal, Howe is expected to keep changes to a minimum. Sandro Tonali’s technical qualities are likely to earn him a starting role in midfield over the more combative Sean Longstaff. Joe Willock could continue in the midfield, while Brazilian Joelinton is set to start on the left, ahead of the £140,000-per-week duo Harvey Barnes and Miguel Almirón.
